Abstract:
The promotion of healthy lifestyles has become a priority to tackle the spread of chronic diseases. Digital technologies, such as wearable devices, show great potential to support positive behaviour change and enable healthier behaviours. The WEHMIX project aims to offer new tools and a new user experience to improve the effectiveness and impact of these technologies for health promotion. This paper illustrates the results of the pilot testing of WEHMIX in two separate settings and scenarios of use.
